Hyper-V Reviews

Providing development and test environments for risk management applications. A variety of standard images were created and could be applied as needed.

Hyper-V provided freedom to spin up development and test environments. As projects were created, an environment could be created and applied.

Reasonably easy to use. Snapshots could be prepared and deployed as a developer needed them. As well, environments could be disabled or removed.

It needs additional administration and monitoring capabilities. Status and availability became an issue and need. 

We use Hyper-V for hardware virtualization.

I have found it difficult to manage more than one virtual machine.

I have been using Hyper-V for approximately seven months.

Hyper-V is not as stable as VMware and should be improved.

We have approximately 20 users using the solution.

The installation was straightforward.

We have a four-person team that consists of an administrator, network administrator, managers, and system administrator that does the maintenance and support of the solution.

I rate Hyper-V a seven out of ten.

It is a consolidation of Microsoft services that we have on premise.

It saves us money because we did not have much in terms of this type of service before using this solution. 

It is easy to use, and it is stable. It is a good solution. 

The stability of the solution is very good. 

It can scale. We have 20 users of the solution who are in various positions at our office. We have two staff members to maintain the solution for our organization. 

We have not used technical support. 

The setup was straightforward. It took us around a day to deploy. It was a manual installation which was not hard. 

The pricing and licensing is pretty good. 

We looked at Oracle, but it did not fit our hardware, so we did not choose it.

In my opinion, read the documentation carefully. If you do not, you will have problems.
